A method of depositing a hard wear resistant surface onto a porous or non-porous base material of a medical implant. The medical implant device formed by a Laser Based Metal Deposition (LBMD) method. The porous material of the base promotes bone ingrowth allowing the implant to fuse strongly with the bone of a host patient. The hard wear resistant surface provides device longevity when applied to bearing surfaces such as artificial joint bearing surface or a dental implant bearing surface.

A new class of light or reactive elements and monophase α′-matrix magnesium- and aluminum-based alloys with superior engineering properties, for the latter being based on a homogeneous solute distribution or a corrosion-resistant and metallic shiny surface withstanding aqueous and saline environments and resulting from the control during synthesis of atomic structure over microstructure to net shape of the final product, said α′-matrix being retained upon conversion into a cast or wrought form. The manufacture of the materials relies on the control of deposition temperature and in-vacuum consolidation during vapor deposition, on maximized heat transfer or casting pressure during all-liquid processing and on controlled friction and shock power during solid state alloying using a mechanical milling technique. The alloy synthesis is followed by extrusion, rolling, forging, drawing and superplastic forming for which the conditions of mechanical working, thermal exposure and time to transfer corresponding metastable α′-matrix phases and microstructure into product form depend on thermal stability and transformation behavior at higher temperatures of said light alloy as well as on the defects inherent to a specific alloy synthesis employed. Alloying additions to the resulting α′-monophase matrix include 0.1 to 40 wt. % metalloids or light rare earth or early transition or simple or heavy rare earth metals or a combination thereof. The eventually more complex light alloys are designed to retain the low density and to improve damage tolerance of corresponding base metals and may include an artificial aging upon thermomechanical processing with or without solid solution heat and quench and annealing treatment for a controlled volume fraction and size of solid state precipitates to reinforce alloy film, layer or bulk and resulting surface qualities. Novel processes are employed to spur production and productivity for the new materials.

The invention relates to a method for preparing endogenetic particle reinforced metal matrix composites under the coupling effect of a magnetic field and supersonic waves. The method comprises: adjusting the temperature of a metal matrix fused mass to the reaction initial temperature after refining, adding a reactant which can generate a particle phase with the fused mass through the reaction in situ for implementing the synthesis reaction, standing the mixture after the reaction is over, and cooling the mixture to the pouring temperature for pouring; and the method is characterized in that: the magnetic field and the high-intensity ultrasonic field are simultaneously exerted in the reaction synthesis process to realize the synthesis of endogenetic particle reinforced metal matrix composites under the coupling effect of the magnetic field and the high-intensity ultrasonic field. The magnetic field can be an intense pulse magnetic field, a high frequency oscillation magnetic field or a low frequency alternating magnetic field. In the method, the coupling effect of the magnetic field and the ultrasonic field makes the particle sizes be thinned and dispersed evenly; the ultrasonic vibration agitation and electromagnetic stirring functions improve the composite dynamic condition, and the compounding of the particle phase and a base metal interface is better; and the co-action of magnetochemistry and sonochemistry improves the thermodynamic condition of the reaction in situ, as well as speeding up the reaction in situ and controlling the growth of the particle phase.
